By far my favorite nutrition out there! This year, I aimed to contend at the Mountain Bike National Ultra Endurance Series (a US-based 100 mile mountain bike race series).
Well, let me tell you... I have been battling with GI issues for 2 years coming back from pregnancy. Playing around with pre-race meal, on the bike nutrition, and recovery mixes... prepped eating heavy carbs over the off season for better high carb load prep. All the things.
I've experienced severe bloating and other GI issues we don't really need to get into the details on. Towards the end, I just felt like giving up or thinking there was something wrong with me like intestinal cancer which runs in my family.
After spending some time researching, I noticed the ingredients weren't right in the mixes I had used (First Endurance, Skratch, Flow, GU, NeverSecond, and Clif). Most of the options were straight sugar and didn't include the equation of sodium, magnesium, potassium, and protein my body needs during events 3+ hours long. Throw in a 10+ hour hard effort in the sun, game over.
In trying the Infinit mixes formulated for woman mixed with Tailwind hydration mix, I found my perfect race nutrition this season. Because of Infinit, I don't feel like there is anything wrong with me and instead believe maybe these other drink mixes aren't what they are all cracked up to be. Regardless, I'm super happy with Infinit. If you haven't tried, recommend trying some! Obviously start off with a smaller amount of carbs if you aren't used to packing carbs down while riding but should be the easiest on your stomach. Go...
Read moreI like INFINIT a lot! First, it starts with the science. It is not a generic blend but rather a blend that is customized to you. Using a NIX sensor we tested by sweat rate to understand where to start. Then we discussed the strength of the flavor, additional add-ons, etc. And only then it was custom-made for me. I use Endurance Bike Blend (for longer rides) and Run/Speed Blend (for short bike or run workouts). I also use their recovery blend and I love the vanilla flavor. Colin was so patient going over my test results and coaching me on how to use my blends under different conditions. Second, I absolutely enjoy having simplicity during the race! All I need is in the bottle :-) I just completed the Ironman Lake Placid 140.6 and Infinit was the only nutrition I had throughout the race. I had some water at the aid stations for hydration but that was it. I had additional Infinit nutrition at Bike/Run Special Needs Aid Stations. It worked out perfectly. So if you are looking for nutrition that is customized to you and simplicity during the race, contact Colin and he will get...

This past weekend, I ran my first race of the year—Boulder Rez Half Marathon.
I use my custom blend electrolyte mix, 20oz, before race. Also took the premium fructose fuel 20 minutes before race and the Tempo x2 during the race. No other gels or anything, other than a few gulps of water at a some aid stations. Podium finish 3rd in my age group—which is called Old People (50-59 yrs old) and PRed by 8 MINUTES! And, during the race I ran my fastest 10k in 20 years, sub50 minutes (at 55 years old, that’s fast for me).
To say your isotonic fueling/nutrition works is an understatement. It is an absolute game changer. My goal was sub2hrs. In practice I got my time down to 1:55. I ordered your premium fructose fuel and paired it with Tempo (y’all shoulda called it Turbo!). Finished 1:47:46!
Your stuff is awesome! Keep doing what you’re doing!
Best Regards, Matt...
